Water Bottle Penguins

from:  Pinterest (Could not locate original source)

So, again, I've tried to locate the source of another craft, unsuccessfully.  I've even gone through every blogpost in the linking site.  I'll do my best to give you a guideline of what would be needed for these water bottle penguins.  And, again, feel free to leave follow up in the "Comments" section below.  You may have a better way of crafting this as these are not the actual instructions.

WHAT'S NEEDED:

• Water Bottles
• Eyes
• Orange Felt or Construction Paper
• Cotton Balls
• Glue
• Black Feathers
• Black Construction Paper
• Permanent Black Marker

HOW TO:

• Piece of black construction paper inserted into back half of water bottle
• Infront of paper, cotton balls are inserted and cap is put on
• Color top of cap with a permanent black marker
• Feathers are glued to back of cap
• Cap and stem of feathers are covered with black construction paper
• Eyes and beak are glued on
• Wings and feet glued on
  
  (Of course, you'll also need to cut these pieces as needed.)

Baked Mozarella Sticks

BAKED MOZARELLA STICKS

Ingredients:
     * String Cheese
     * Milk
     * Bread Crumbs
     * Marinara Sauce

Directions:

String cheese chopped into bite size pieces, then dipped in milk and bread crumbs. Bake at 425 for 8-10 minutes and serve with marinara sauce. It's baked not fried!

I see some spices on these, anyone want to take a guess at what combination would make these great?  Please share in the comment field below, to help us out.  (My first thought was Basil, Oregano, or Italian Seasoning.)

Next Bake Sale

Hey moms!  Here's an idea for the next bake sale you help with.  Put cupcakes in short, clear cups.  So cute and mess free.  Why didn't I think of this on my own?

Free 8x10 Canvas Print (Just pay shipping)

(Note:  This is not hassle free)

Click here to get your free 8x10 canvas print.

Alright, after an hour plus, I officially ordered our free canvas by only paying for shipping.  I must tell you it was an extreme hassle as their website is on overload.  I kept getting "Error" screens.  As a result, I found in my email that they were not errors and I've ordered multiple of one canvas.  I don't know that you should really call this a bargain.

If you want a print, I suggest, once entering your card information; wait at least a half hour before checking your email to see if the order processed.  You may have to start the whole ordeal over multiple times, it just matters how much you want your print.

Their customer service is on overload, as is their website, so I will not know if I get a refund for at least 48 hours.  And, it appears if it prints and was a free print before your request is processed, you will not be refunded.  All to say, I think I lost money instead of getting a great bargain.  Make sure you check your email after submitting your card number.  Do NOT think "error" means your payment was not processed.

Worst case scenario, I have gifts for Riley's grandparents this Christmas!
